Jake "Cobba" Stevens is currently studying Sports Journalism at La Trobe Uni. One of the youngest 'old bloods' supporters in Melbourne, he can't decide if the crowd was louder at the 2005 or 2012 Grand Final.

Great article, good to see a Swans supporter on here, especially a young one. Don’t know any Sydney supporters at my school. Well, I know one but she’s not that into it.

Absolutely love Brett Kirk, the AFL will never see a man play footy like that again. Although, Kieren Jack is doing quite a good job of becoming the new cult hero.

Just wondering, there is also a number of teenagers on this website, and we all talk privately on MSN about anything really, footy, school, life etc. and we’ve got a close bond. You should leave me an email and I can introduce you to some of the guys and girls. waaia_roos20@live.com.au

Cobba, my father took me to the ’67 grand final from Tasmania and my team lost. His won as he was a Richmond supporter. I was 13. I remember the day and the time.

I took my son to the 2007 GF and my (his) team won. I consider having that time with father, and then son, as most valuable.
Good to see you had a win, and met one of the modern day legends of the game.
